Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) or Blepahritis, is a condition causing inflammation of the eyelids. Each eyelid, both upper and lower contains over 20 meibomian glands that are responsible for producing the outer, oily layer of the tear film.
Meibomian gland: A type of gland in the eyelids that makes a lubricant called sebum which is discharged through tiny openings in the edges of the lids. The meibomian glands can become inflamed, a condition termed meibomianitis or meibomitis, due to allergy, acne in adolescence, and rosacea. Chronic inflammation of the meibomian glands leads to cysts, called chalazions. Treatment usually consists of lubricant eye drops, warm compresses to the eyes, and careful cleansing of the eyelids. An antibiotic ointment may be prescribed to apply to the edge of the eyelid.
